Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a connector connecting portion on the inner side of the housing, which ensures efficient use of space and protection from external impact. This results in a smaller electrical apparatus size and allows for a large space for the electric circuit unit.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, if the connector connecting portion bulges out from the side surface of the housing, there is a possibility that external impact may be directly input to the connector connecting portion.

Abstract

A vehicle includes an electrical apparatus comprising an electric circuit unit, a cooling unit that cools the electric circuit unit, a housing that accommodates the electric circuit unit and the cooling unit, a refrigerant introduction unit that supplies a refrigerant to the cooling unit; and a refrigerant discharge unit that discharges the refrigerant from the cooling unit. The refrigerant introduction unit and the refrigerant discharge unit are provided on opposite sides with the electric circuit unit being interposed therebetween in a horizontal direction. The housing is provided, on an inner side of an outer edge of the housing, with a connector connecting portion that is connected to a connector, and the connector connecting portion is provided below the cooling unit and closer to the refrigerant introduction unit or to the refrigerant discharge unit than the electric circuit unit in the horizontal direction.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is based on and claims priority under 35 USC 119 from Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-187589 filed on Oct. 2, 2018.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to an electrical apparatus provided with a connector connecting portion to which a connector is connected.BACKGROUND ART[0003]In the electrical apparatus of JP-A-2014-93379, a connector connecting portion bulges out from a side surface of a housing and a eave portion protruding from an upper end portion of the housing is provided above the connector connecting portion, so that the connector connecting portion is prevented from being flooded.[0004]However, in JP-A-2014-93379, since the connector connecting portion bulges out from the side surface of the housing, the size of the electrical apparatus is increased, and since the eave portion is provided thereon, the size of the electrical apparatus is further increased. In addition, if the connector connecti...
